today about the healing power of God it's God's will to heal you and deliver you God wants you to have life and have it more abundantly so get ready to get the truth of God in you let's go into the service where I'll teach you the Word of God the Bible says God said if I will diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord your God and will do that which is right in his sight and give ear to His commandments then will I and keep all of his statutes I will put none of the diseases upon you which I brought upon the Egyptians for I am the Lord that healeth thee amen now I want to talk to you today about a healing Savior I'm going to talk to you about the kind of Savior Jesus really is I preached for nineteen years and did not know what I'm going to teach you today I went to college and got my degree I went to seminary and came out real educated with a master's degree and I went out to preach in Baptist churches and God bless the Baptist said out loud I went out for 19 years and taught the Word of God and did not know what I'm going to teach you today and I want you to listen carefully because this is good news to every sick saying suffering demon-possessed devil oppressed drug a captured individual out there I'm telling you folks God is a good god you know I had the idea when as I preach for all those years that God made a sick I was taught that God puts sickness on us to teach us how to suffer in order to learn things you know to teach us a lesson I was taught that it was God's will to get sick to be patient that God was teaching me something how in the world can you have faith for God to heal you if you think God put it on you and God is teaching you something and yet thousands of you people listening to me some of you been given about doctors some of you have just suffered in your body so much and you just don't know what you're going to do about but you believe in your heart and some right here believe that and many of you out there believe that God sent this God is teaching me something and I'm learning something and I I'm going through God's school and so I've just got to be patient and endure it because after all God wants me sick when I've got won't you say cannot well what are you doing taking medicine oh you said brother who senior year against medicine no I'm for it you better take it did you get faith in your heart from God you'll die amen I'm for doctors and I'm for medicine but a lot of people say oh it's God's will for me to be sick and they're taking everything they can and get the doctors to treat him trying to get will get well to get out of the will of God are y'all out there if it's a will of God for you to be sick don't try to get well but really Sina I tell y'all just learn so much during my last sickness well why don't you pray to get sick again somebody said well you know God sends sickness to teach us I'm sure you learn something in every experience but that doesn't mean it's the best way now you know we raised all of our children by the way Paul our son who is a medical doctor called us yesterday our first little grandson is just big enough to climb up on things and he's climbing into everything I'm sure all y'all going to know about our only grandchild but I'm going to tell you anyway you see it's my telecast I'll do what I want to do but you know he'd been climbing all over everything so he because they talked to each other yesterday and he said mother how in the world did you raise all of us into everything well you know we did raise those children and you know we could have said what have we want to teach you a lesson today you know I hear here's the fireplace now come over here put your little hand though now we're going to teach you a lesson you understand fire fire fire burn burn burn burn burn burn burn burn you understand burn dummy burn burn burn you know we could have gone up there and said now we're going to teach them a lesson today here here's the fire fire F re fire fire burn B you are in burn you understand no you don't understand come a little closer now and you just stick his hand in then fried a little bit now a tree pulls it out all blistered I'm sure he learned something I'm sure he learned that fire was hot but that's not the best way to teach him that's not how God teaches you pudding cancer on you and somebody said oh I can have more passion now that I've had cancer and I've had to sure you can but that's not the best way to learn compassion and God does not send tuberculosis and cancer and leukemia and authorizers no God did not send that disease upon you our God is not the God that afflicts people he is a God who heals people the purpose of this message is the real faith in your heart that you don't have to stay sick either here in this church or wherever you're viewing by television you can rise if you don't have to learn to live with arthritis and bronchitis and I know broken back and a neck that won't work right and all the infirmities in your body no I'm telling you folks you can rise up with faith in God the Bible says I am Jehovah Rapha the Lord that healeth thee now a little father own in this in this book over here in Exodus chapter chapter 23 verse 25 it says this you shall serve the Lord your God and he will bless your bread and your water and then he says I will take sickness away from the midst of thee now if God clearly says I will take sickness away from the midst of you if you'll serve me then it is his will for you to be well now over in in Psalms David said in Psalm 103 he said bless the Lord O my soul and all that is within me bless His Holy Name bless the Lord O my soul and forget not all his benefits now what are the benefits he forgives all mine iniquities and what heals all my diseases say it again heals all my diseases God wants to heal all your diseases that's why he's given doctors and medication because he knows most people will never have faith unless they're taught the Word of God and God wants you well anyway you can get well thank God for doctors thank God for medicine but that doesn't mean that Almighty God the Lord Jesus Christ his son cannot heal you directly through prayer and through faith and that's what he wants to do today now in Isaiah chapter 35 it tells about the day when God is going to visit this earth it says the wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose you know many of you right here your life is like a desert many of you have come in here with trouble and sorrow judge here at the back a man stopped me weeping and talking about what was happening in his life and in the life of his wife and how she was facing this and facing that a desert but the Bible says the desert shall blossom like a rose verse 3 strengthen ye the weak hands confirmed the feeble knees say to them that are of a fearful heart be strong fear not behold your God shall come everybody shout my god she'll come shout it again are you folks viewing about television you know the Bible says our God shall come when he came his name was Jesus now this passage tells what's going to happen when this God comes my God shall come verse 5 then the eyes of the blind shall be opened and the ears of the Deaf shall be unstopped then everybody shall then then shall the lame man leap as the heart and the tongue of the dumb shall sing in that wonderful in other words when your God comes that the sick and the suffering and the die and the demon process and the devil oppressed and the hurting shall be healed you see what I'm showing you is it it's God's will it's God's will he wants you round God won't you you know when God made Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden you know he made them strong and healthy and well now if God had wanted a woman with arthritis he had a made Eve with authorizers if he had wanted a woman with bent back here to made Eve all bent over like that if he had wanted a blind man he'd have made Adam blind if he had wanted a man with cancer he had a hit a blessed Adam with a cancer are you listening to me if he had wanted him filled with pain and sorrow and trouble here - made him that way but he didn't he made him healthy and strong their eyes were shining their heads were held high he had the life of God in them and they were surrounded with plenty this is what God wants for us he wants us to be now this God did come born of a Virgin Mary he came into the world he lived 30 years and then he came on the scene to manifest himself and to show himself to the world and when he stepped out here in Luke chapter 4 verse 18 he said the spirit now this is God in a human body it's your God he's not a Baptist God he's not a Methodist God he's not a Jewish God he's not a Gentile God he is the god of the whole earth he is your God this is your God o you who are suffering you who are troubled you who are bound by drugs and alcohol and broken homes and in a broken heart listen this is your God I'm about to read to you the truth oh I want to go in and take my hands and put them in the denominational curtains and rip them apart so you can see clearly your God here is your God the Spirit of the Lord is upon me because everybody shout because shout it again shout it again the Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me to preach the good news to the poor he has sent me one of the next two words shout it out shout it out I can't hear you jesus said I'm God manifest in the flesh and I am anointed and sent to heal you see he sent to preach and to heal what if it's not God's will to heal how can he be sent to heal I'll tell you the shot the shackles are coming off and the scales are falling from your eyes I remember the first time it dawned upon me I thought oh god in heaven could it be true that you want me to be filled with the Holy Ghost speaking in other tongues casting out Devils praying for the sick is it possible to have miracles today like in the book of Matthew Mark Luke and John what a three to know that Jesus is the same yesterday today and forever come on now this God this God that we're talking about went around ministering in the world I want to read to you out of the Amplified Bible you folks here may have an amplified Bible if you do turn them Matthew chapter 9 chapter 4 Matthew chapter 4 well it says here that God Jesus God in the flesh went about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every sickness and every weakness and infirmity among the people now isn't that good news if he healed every sickness and every disease and he's the same yesterday today and forever heal healed you and he wants to heal you today he says he went around all the cities all the villages that includes everybody wherever you are everybody say that includes me then I want to I want to read you from Matthew chapter 9 I've never had anything touched me like this this is the heart of God unveiled it says in verse 32 and while they were going away behold a dumb man under the power of a demon was brought to Jesus are y'all listening on television this man that couldn't talk was brought to Jesus and when the demon had been driven out the dumb man could speak and the crowds were stunned with bewilderment one wandering saying never have we seen anything like this in Israel but the Pharisee said he drives out demons true and with the help of the devil the power of demons I remember when we came out of our our Baptist Church I'm not saying this is true in every Baptist Church but I remember God to heal a little crippled girl in there and I stood her up in front of that everybody knew she'd grown up in that church and then was the first miracle we had in that Baptist Church and I said everybody will now believe and I stood her up I said she's healed her her foster mother said she's healed the girls that I'm healed her crippled leg was healed I thought everybody would believe I said now who he order Jesus are the devil and I saw one man look straight at me and say that devil that's the attitude that's the hiss of the sprit I took the newspaper down and we printed it in in front of the bank down here and and all the so about this little miracle that had happened to this little girl and I I saw a Baptist preacher that God bless the Baptist they're not all this way just happened to be one I don't mean that ugly but I I stopped I said oh brother brother I said wait a min let me show you something and I'll put that newspaper under there I thought he would rejoice that a little girl would be healed I don't know about you but I rejoiced when the blind see I rejoiced from the death here I rejoice when cancers are healed I rejoice when author itis is gone I rejoice when suffering people are here and he he sat in that car reading up all about that miracle that Jesus performed and I thought he would rejoice and he handed it back to me and with a sneer he looked at me and said brother Osteen the devil can heal too and man died within a few hours his driving his car down dropped over there don't you better be careful about attributing the works of the Holy Ghost to that to the devil if you don't know anything just keep your mouth shut I mean just don't don't be saying the devil did it well don't don't say what the Holy Ghost does is of the devil but I here's what I want to read you see but that didn't stop Jesus that didn't stop Jesus and some of you preachers listening to me you want to get out in the Holy Ghost Walk you won't I'm speaking by revelation now if the Spirit of God ever led me to saying today he's he's leading me right now many of you long to be out here with us in this great ocean of service for God you want to launch out you want to speak in tongues you want to see miracles of God you want to cut loose that all there's so many things holding on to you I want to tell you throw it all over rise up get out of your boat walk on the water go to Jesus I I hear some of you say Oh what will my denominations what will my denomination say what where my leaders say what will the denomination that I serve say hey let me tell you something your denomination didn't save you your denomination didn't call you you won't have to stand at the bar of judgment of your denomination the Lord Jesus Christ saved you he called you you follow him good now you see you see Jesus could have said well the fair Caesar against me the Sadducees are real are against me and all the denominational people I'll just quit no the cry of the multitudes in their great need Moody moan he was moved with compassion I don't care if all the religious crowd stands up I don't care if they try to stop me I don't care if they criticize I don't care if they lie about me I tell you I move by suffering humanity and I know that Jesus Christ is the answer I'm going to go a Monday on my and we're going to see the sick healed the blind see the Deaf will be healed and the lame will walk and we'll set the captives free holiday Amen well they they said to Jesus they said to Jesus he you're doing that for the power of the devil that didn't stop Jesus notice his compassion it says Jesus went about all the cities and villages teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every curing all kinds of diseases and every weakness and infirmity it didn't stop it now here's what I want you to see this is how I feels towards you listen and when he saw the throngs when he sees you Jesus sees you he's right there with you he's there in that room with you he knows you're in pain he knows you're about to give up he knows you have confusion in your life he knows that you're hurting he knows all about we care right here but Jesus is right there where you are he is present there with his power and compassion and his willingness to touch it at you he'll in divine destiny tune this in today and he wants you to listen carefully so he can touch you now listen listen to this when he saw the soft when he sees you he was moved with compassion pity and sympathy for them let me ask you a question what
